Sacramento police have released a description of a pickup truck sought in connection with the hit-and-run death of a 61-year-old bicyclist Sunday. Police said the Molly Arndt was riding her bicycle across Stockton Boulevard near Lawrence Drive about 5:45 p.m. Sunday when she was hit by a white pickup truck heading northbound. Arndt was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries.
Police spokeswoman Officier Michele Gigante said today that based on evidence found at the scene, police are looking for a 1992 to 1998 white Chevy 1500 pickup with a tool box in the back. It is believed to have a damaged driver's side headlight assembly. Gangante said no description of the driver was available. Witnesses reported that the pickup driver appeared to hit the brakes just before striking the bicyclist, slowed down following the collision and then sped away without stopping.
Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at (916) 264-5471 or Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357. Callers to Crime Alert may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.

About Us

The League of American Bicyclists, founded in 1880, promotes and protects the rights of every cyclist in the U.S. We teach cycling, encourage new riders, and advocate for cyclists in the states and in Washington, D.C. We also mourn the loss of the more than 700 cyclists killed in traffic crashes each year. This site is a place to honor those cyclists and to ensure that their death is not in vain. This site will be a memorial, a gathering place, and home for everyone that has lost a friend or family member. We’ll also be using the data to highlight trends, particularly dangerous locations, safer driving techniques, and more. We envision this site as a virtual ghost bike; as a continuation of the annual Ride of Silence; as a voice speaking up on behalf of all cyclists. Thank you for joining us here. This site is attempting to capture all U.S. cycling deaths starting from January 1, 2012.
